    Overview

    In The Witcher Yaevinn you could is say is seen as a terrorist leader. This is due to Yaevinn being a part of the the Scoia'tael which many humans believe is a group only dedicated to due harm to the land of Temeria. Yaevinn in fact is a Scoia'tael commando that leads his people to fight the lack of equality for the Elder races. Although Yaevinn did not always believe this because at one time he just wanted to live out a normal life but eventually the discrimination against his people led him to join the cause of the Scoia'tael. It is also known Yaevinn once fought in second Nilfgaard War as a Lieutenant Colonel of the Deithwen division.

    Yaevinn in The Witcher is the main representative of the Scoia'tael for Geralt. Throughout the story Geralt runs into Yaevinn and can often make the choice to side with him, Order of Flaming Rose, or remain neutral. These choices Geralt makes leads to many conflicts that shape the end of The Witcher.
